When parents don't do there jobs
37% Normal
42 Comments

I have to say after a lot of research parents are not doing there jobs. Kids don't learn about there sexuality till they are way to old and by the time there parents actually talk about it there kids know more from friends and others that there talk becomes a joke. I have read that at age 7 your kids should know more than just the birds and what note. They should even should know why it feels good. They should even ask about sexual things openly but they panic when the first time they show you something like masturbating that they never ask again. Why are people so dumb that they expect there kids to not know till they reach 18 years of age. Why is it that important to the parents to say nothing and then at age 12 have there kid pregnant because they was not informed properly. It use to be that kids watched there parents having sex and even asked questions during that way they knew at an early age what this secret sex thing is all about. I think we need to go back to this practice. It is normal and natural unless your ashamed of being a sexual person would any one hide this face is beyond my understanding any more.
Do you think it's normal?

My parents didnt talk to us and we had sex education at school which was fukn useless. The best way to learn about sex is with porn. Just start with naked women at first and then graduate to magazines of hetero sex and then graduate to 3 somes and stuff. Then let them discover other types of sec for themselves
i do not agree with your ages listed (7, knowledge, and 12 pregnant (almost physicaly inpossible)); though the schools do supple some degree of education, as to what goes where and the concerquences (but not enough).

and nor do i think that the children should be forced to watch there parents haveing sex, apart from the trauma it will cause it is just weird.

but i do think that there should be a better system for introducing and educating kids to sex; and that it should be at a reasonable age (12-13)
Sorry but your facts are out of date. Kids know about sex by age 5. They may not know that is how you can make a baby but they do know it feels good to play in that area. hear are some facts to back it up. I don't think discourage this is a good idea just makes them do these acts behind your back. I would rather know so I can do the right things instead of guessing.

By the way the trauma is not telling your kids from age 5-8 about sex before you let the school teach them what you as a parent should be doing. hear is the facts. I dong think they should have charged the boy anything. Even at there age they need to rethink how to deal with this if they were 18

What the hell are you talking about, kids used to watch their parents having sex? Yes I can agree that adults are stupid if they think children don't know quite a bit about sex by age 12. Parents want their children to stay babies forever, and want them to stay innocent, and this is very normal. What kind of parent wants to tell their 12 year old son to wear a condom, or take their 12 year old daughter to get put on birth control? It's more of a moral issue I think, but the fact of the matter is kids shouldn't be having sex at that age in my opinion. Unfortunately young girls can get pregnant some as early as 9 start their period. Our culture as humans has changed, because now children are taught to enjoy their childhood, and we live longer so their is no need for sex and marriage by age 15 like life used to be, this is a good thing. Sex is merely something we have to reproduce, and although it is pleasurable, I think sex should be for adults after we have stopped growing fully, simply because most teenage minds are no where near ready for a sex life, and especially children.
Does this mean I shouldn't fuck someone for a few more years??? DAM
LOL. No it's your body do as you wish, but just be safe and resposible about it.
Woot :) now I need a girlfriend or more money.
lmao
Well of cores parents want to keep there kids and especially there daughter from even thinking about sexual things. They do but we pretend its just them like to explore. Kids are given less credit. What I think is parents don't want there kids to know what sex is because there shamed by the act that is nnatural to do in the first place. I think the lack of responsibility parents have by having the schools teach there kids about this important part that parents not the school should be looking at.
Sex is natural though, boys get horny when they hit puberty, and so do girls, there is nothing wrong with sex, but people don't know how to teach their kids how to control themselves anymore.
Kids learn by example yet a book can not teach the emotional and physical control they are seeking from there parents. Now parents yell at there kids not to watch is like asking a kid not to eat the ice cream in the freezer. Until we understand as curious humans what it is we will keep exploring even if we get it wrong. Kids need to know and its hi time parents start doing what there suppose to be doing. Set an example for there kids on what things are including sexual activates. Only a fool would say this is wrong. How after all did you learn to eat, walk, bike, I don't think school is the right place for this ether. I think some parents need to remember all the problems they had to learn that would be learned faster if explained from someone they trust.
I agree with that to an extent, but how exactly are parents suppossed to do that? I mean what if a 12 year old boy doesn't have his dad around, don't you think it would be kind of awkward for his mother to explain how to put a penis in a vagina? I grew up in a christian school, and in church so I don't really understand what's it like to have to go to public highschool, and be around kids who want to have sex with you. LOL. There is nothing more a parent can tell a child to not do or to do if he wants to try something. I really don't think schools should pass out condoms though, they should be more discreet with sex, and let them choose, but still give them enough information to make the right choice for themselves.
My parents never explained sex too me and I learned way before school taught me, I'm not sure when exactly, but I know I first watched porn when I was 9 (my bro caught me >.< not actually watching it but I downloaded some and left it on windows media so when my bro started that up it came on) and I know that I knew about sex a few years before then, sex ed in my school fucking sucked though, I was never really taught it until I was 12, though then again I learned other places, sex ed for an 11 year old went something like this for me "you should feel your ball sack and see if there's 2 ball feeling things in there" and then "here are some letters you should read" "theres this girl I really like but I don't know how to tell her I like her - signed Rebecca" that is all I was ever taught bout sex by either my parents or my school till I was 12.
Does that even count as sex ed? like really we were told to touch ourselves then read some letters from some lezbo's does that even count?
A 12 year old boy will know how to have sex dont worry about that, though if you dont want to teach your son you could leave some instructions up on the comp by "accident" then he might be read it or might not. Or make him watch porn and explain wats happening, I would love that kind of sex ed, though it may be a bit awkward watching with my parents.
I went to a catholic skool, it sucked specially since I became an atheist when I was in 3rd grade. Do the schools here actually pass out condoms?
I think so, only in high school though. Porn isn't a good way to learn about sex, why let them see fake fucking. I knew about sex when I was 9 too only b/c my babysitter and older friends gave me little hints and made me do stupid stuff like kiss this little boy and he dry humped me, LOL. I even got pushed down on the ground and kissed by a boy at 7 or 8, I can remember that exactly I really had no idea what was going on at the time it's like he ambushed me in my own backyard. Boys definately have the urge to fuck earlier than girls, it's a natural human instinct, almost animal. =) They should just be taught it's for adults, and once you lose it you can't get it back, boys should be taught how to control themselves better, not just the girls.
Well I joined highschool as a freshman and never got given a condom, maybe the school wanted to send an abstinence message. Anyway I knew way bfor 9 i just watched porn when i was 9.

That sounds a bit like rape committed by guys that don't know how to rape someone or wat a pussy is.

Id just say "when a daddy pretends to love a mummy very much they fuck each other and when the condom is broken a kid comes out, and thats where babies are from" and let the kid work out what I mean by that. I knew what fucking meant when I was in..... dunno preschool dunno wat itd b here, year 1 in england so 0 grade here watever it is.

btw I wuldnt really say that.
People are just animals, and the animal life, eat drink sleep and fuck, if you read my godless post, which i guess u didnt, then you would see that I think that is the meaning of life.
We are mammals though, and we do still have an animal instinct though it's not strong, and our primary urges are the same as animals, some animals are more intelligent than others, some are stronger, we are the most intelligent and we have thumbs allowing us to manipulate objects easily, but we are not the strongest, we are just very intelligent animals. We have our technology, computers, guns, airplanes, cars that kind of thing and monkeys use stones as tools, and thats a sign of very basic technology.
Yea I did read that and I do remember I didn't agree with that at all, and I don't believe we are animals, because I believe in God and creation, and souls etc etc.... If we were really considered just another animal in everyone's opinion, then all the world would be different. Life would really be survival of the fittest, we would be acting like a bunch of animals with no structure, no rules, no mercy, and we would remain primitive. People would have the desire to lunge on an animal for food, there is no scientific evidence that cave men or whatever hunted like that. We are very different from animals, so you shouldn't confuse mammal and human, we our our own species.

I don't screw everything that walks, and not everyone does either, sex means different things to different people. The fact that our culture has sex all over everything like tv, magazines, the internet, movies doesn't help puberty, stricken teens with having safe sex either, it's not all the parents fault. Life is way different now, we are moving so fast, even I find it hard to keep up with everything, so I think this causes confusion in teens, because they can't understand why they have urges when it is so taboo to have sex and get married as a teen.
Actually by definition humans are mammals, what sets us apart from other mammals?? monkeys are mammals they use technology, very very primitive yes and we may have been more advanced by the time we held a stone, but it still counts as technology, they also have prostitutes, like getting paid and everything. and a mammal is in the animal kingdom and anything in the animal kingdom is an animal, so we are, by definition, animals. We are just smarter than most of the others, we have a larger brain size- body size ratio, and we have thumbs. Not all animals fuck everything they see either, why would any animal be endangered if every single female was pregnant all the time? Just reproducing is more important for survival for the other animals than it is for us, as we can live a long time and even if we did have a natural predator we have guns to kill them. That gun thing brings me to my next point, we are brutal, more brutal than many animals, at least animals fight over getting a mate or territory, we will fight for the hell of it, we killed because someone has a slightly different view to us, we capture other humans and sell them into slavery, we still do all that stuff, and how many times have you seen a cat sell another cat into slavery??

We are mammals, we are vertebrates, we have sweat glands, the girls produce milk for babies, we have hair and 3 middle ear bones, we give birth to live children not eggs, we have specialized teeth for eating, and we have a fourchambered heart, so how are we not mammals??

What makes you think animals are just mindless beings? they just want to survive, their brain span isn't large enough to create a computer but then again are we strong enough to fight a fully grown grizzly bear??
They protect their young, if someone was trying to kill your son wouldn't you protect him?? That's what they do, only difference is we can differentiate between friend and foe better than a giant grizzly bear can.
Some animals are smarter than others, others are stronger, and some are neither smart or strong. We are smart but we aren't necessarily that strong compared to other animals.

And besides animals learn stuff, they dont learn as much as us sure, and they would be clueless on calculus but they can learn.
THIS IS GOING TO BE LONG..... LOL

I understand animals have thoughts and can be very smart, but they won't change. I personally don't think the human IQ has ever changed because I look at art and history and I think well they weren't much different than we are now, except for the technology thing, but Egyptians were incredibly intelligent. I think the longer humans have been around the more we get bored with things and change our ways of life.

So, how does this or doesn't this make humans an animal? I know what mammals are, and perhaps humans are animals biologically, but in our everyday language we often use "animal" to term a creature that is not human.

Webster's New Universal Unabridged Dictionary:
animal:
1. any member of the kingdom Animalia, comprising multicellular organisms that have a well-defined shape and usually limited growth, can move voluntarily, actively acquire food and digest it internally, and have sensory and nervous systems that allow them to respond rapidly to stimuli: some classification schemes also include protozoa and certain other single-celled eukaryotes that have motility and animal like nutrition modes.
2. any such living thing other than a human being.

Depending on which definition you use depends on whether or not we are animals, but we are basically arguing over terminology. Mammals are just a part of a classifictaion that somebody really just made up. I don't want to really go in to specific detail, but our DNA is almost exact with a chimpanzee, so maybe we are only 98% animal. The easiest way I can explain why I believe we aren't animals is because I believe we have a soul, and they don't we are beings not animals. I know you probably won't understand what that has to do with anything, but I just don't know how to explain it any other way.
I just think that we are animals, though I don't believe in any of that soul stuff either, we live we die nothing happens after that, it may not be the happiest way of looking at it but it's what I believe is true, the only way I can believe that god exists is if he created the world then possible the first living organisms then he fucked off. If he did create humans then he either hated this planet and wanted it destroyed or he made on hell of a mistake. We have destroyed this planet and we talk about saving it but all we do is carry on destroying it, one day we will either stop or we will eventually die out. This planet has seen more destruction in the time that the humans have been here than has ever been seen before. I think that he may also hate us because a majority of the human population live in poverty, starve to death, and die in the most horrible ways, and he doesn't do anything to stop it, he wants people to worship him and then tortures a majority of us, even if I believed in god I would not worship someone that does that.
Yeah our minds make up for strength and speed, we have guns, knives, bombs, grenades and all that shit to make up for our strength and cars, planes, trains and all that to make up for our speed, though if it were a race on foot against a cheetah, or wrestling a grizzly I highly doubt we would win.
Do you think that humans are a class of it's own or are just more intelligent and sophisticated than other animals?
when i was 12 i walked in on my parents having sex. there was no eye contact for about a month.
Hey its just simple problem with a simple solution that parents start doing there job. Schools don't work I know they did not cover questions asked just what the book let them teach.

Well if you don't have a dad then your mom needs a partner to help. they do have toys as well. They need to know so kids don't get in trouble.
Yes in the passed Parents had a house with 1 room not 5. When parents had sexual moments the kids would watch and that's how they learned.
Its not like they were having sex with there kids. Sounds strange but that's because you have not been informed or had that example.
Parents now just expect some creep to tell you. Now what kind of parent lets there kids find out about sex from some one with less knowledge.
Half of kids that has there first experience has a bad experience because they don't know what they are doing and no one tells them.
25% get pregnant 65% get some type of STD. Why. because parents are not doing there job. Demonstration, example, explanation, opening the doors.
The parents would teach there kids about masturbation. Parents would help there kids masturbate and at times even participated. This extra knowledge there kids gained
also brought there family closer in that they would be more open to talk about subjects that people cringed to talk about.
Its said that people embarrassed by there own sexuality wont help there kids learn so they don't feel embarrassed when they have there first time.

By the way no one and I mean no one can tell me no flipping way that 18 is the legal age to have sex. Fact is kids play when they wish to and if you don't give them
the information they actually need they will go find the information by going online or at age 7-18 explore sexual interaction with others. This is to often the case kids will
start interacting.with older people to get the information they are not getting from there parents. Then the parents get ticked off because there kid has a crush on some one
that could be there dad. or they have a crush on there cousin. The other is they had sex with this older person or they had sex with there cousin.
Problem is if the parents told them they would know more than what they have to work with. Then they can make a better choice that is fact.

Fact is parents find it strange that there kids are looking to play at such a young age. The truth is babies have been seen masturbating in the womb.
If it feels good why humiliate them for such a pleasant thing. Well they have to hold off for the right person. Yea right and we all did that.
Fact is if parents don't start doing there jobs by the age of 7 there kids will be shown the wrong way. At age 12 both gender start to hate there parents.
Why because they have been asking about sex and no one is telling them anything. Then between 12-15 a friend that is more explorative has the experience
and tells them all they are missing. They hate there parents because they have been asking and no one will tell them. Fact is kids then find out about the age law
and show there defiance by doing it anyway. Some find the oldest most experienced the other 25% look for any one that will try it. This is fact people. Don't like it then make some changes.
Besides I would rather be the one to show my kids about sex than porn anyway. Don't learn much fro porn just that it feels good to have sexual contacts.
I could understand why you feel this way too, sometimes I wonder why the world is so cruel. If you noticed though religion is being frowned upon, especially by our society, so maybe that is why God is turning his back on us in a way. It is in the bible, all that is happening now, "in the days where woman won't want their children, and there will be rumors of wars" , sounds like the time we are in now. You should read revelation, it's a very interesting book.
Religion isn't frowned upon where I live, in fact everyone is so fucking religious round here, if you say you aren't a member of a church they think of you as a second class citizen. God has turned his back on us forever, in fact recent years have been better than thousands of years ago. I always wonder why the world is so cruel and the answer is simple really, there isn't a god, or he hates us, our nature is to destroy ourselves, we do that quite effectively really, and we don't do a shit load to help the majority of the starving, that would destroy the economy, the feelings their is, "so what if millions die in horrible ways, I don't wanna pay $10 per gallon" though America should get more fuel efficient cars, just saying, England pays twice as much for gas but our cars are also twice as fuel efficient, 30 mpg there is pretty bad.
Some women do want their children, my LA teacher was so happy when she found out she was prego, and you said you loved being a mum, did you not want your child?? And there have been rumors of war for as long as we started going to war.

What exactly is revelation about?
lol
Yet we turn to god as why war start we use god as why we can or can not do things. Yet we are a billion time more intelligent we forget kids have needs and no one guides them we just hope they learn on there own. Just what a Pedaphyle is looking for. I would rather teach my kids how to masturbate and about sex than the hope that they will learn it on there own no mater how intelligent we may be a Pedaphyle is always one up on kids. May be time to even the score to give kids more control and options. If they can play a video game I think kids can handle the extra options.
my parens told me when i was 9 so not all parents r useless wait a second if parents r useless then.. y r u here right now?
Well we discuss sex in our household the same as any other subjects. Whenever one of our kids ask us something about it we answer them the same as if we were discussing the weather. But we don't just wait for them to ask. We bring it up occasionally when the right circumstances present themselves. And we've encouraged our kids to come to us about anything, not just sex. Especially if they are being told not to tell us about it.

I don't think our kids are going to lack knowledge when it comes to sex issues in their life.

And for what its worth we don't freak out when our kid asks us something that totally freaks us out! This I believe has kept an open line of communication between us. My wife and I might freak out afterwards and the pillow talk can be lengthy and intense but we don't freak out on our kids. I've had to swallow hard a few times.
im 12 and hav had sex but i dnt regreate it it was the best choice iv every made dam she was fine roflmfao
i don't care what anyone says.
forcing to watch your parents have sex is the most horrible and inhumane thing a person can do.
Anonymous (Story Author)
Really. Its inhumane to allow your kids to know what is natural what they will ask you about anyway when they are are 6~12. By age 12 if you don't tell your daughters the truth about sex they hat you for it and they show you. You let your kids watch TV. Do they ever watch animal planet or do they have pets or fish. They ask you ware baby's come from. In the past kids learned from there parents by the fact they woke up. If it is inhumane then no one would have any understanding about sexuality. What dungeon did you come out of that you keep your kids from even knowing about sex till they get raped or kidnapped by some sick freak. Kids don't freak out knowing they get freaked out by your over reaction to something they thought was ok to ask or know about then they get all buggy and stop asking anything from you. You need to be more logical and less Higher than mighty thinking. God people. Even the bible talked about it and no one even reads about this stuff in the open. Its this sinful act that bad people do. The truth is its not a bad thing or even sinful but the actions you take to lye to them is fare more a sin and inhumane than to tell them something they will find out any way. It's even what parents should be doing instead of letting some nut job teach your kids in a class hardly anything then by the age of 16 they have more questions and make mistakes all the time you tell them not to they do it anyway. Why do you think they do it anyway. You had your chance but failed. Why is it no one ever sees this till it hits them in the head like a truck. So brain dead people thinking your doing your kids harm by teaching them what they need do know. How do they know they need to eat. You teach them or do they find out for them self. Hmm answer that punks.
Kids watching heir parents having sex?? Wtf are you talking about you psycho that's disgusting. You lost all credibility when you said that man... that's not teaching your children that's traumatizing them. Sick.
People are so ignorant nowadays. Many children get pregnant at age 12. I know a social worker to had to deal with a pregnant 9 year old girl who had been raped by her father and blamed by her mother.
@: churbur
To churbur: While the idea creeps me out, it is true. In many countries including Saudi Arabia this still happens. How do you think families who live in one room huts have so many kids? Having sex outside? No.
I just seen a family having natural birth. She was walking around the room nude. The kids was in the room and the girl around 4-6 wanted to help her mom. She looked at her moms belly and then looked up to her moms vagina and said "come out baby we are waiting for you to come out" Now when the baby's head was coming out the daughter "not traumatized" said "that's a baby" Now if that is a traumatized kid I must be slow. her daughter seemed more curious than traumatized. I think some people think there kids are dumb. Its creepy to think that these girls in the world know less than this 4-5 year old. Kids that see there parents have sex ask questions that are to embarrising for the parent. They want the school or some one else teach there kids. Then they wonder why her 9 year old has affections for someone that tells her about sex. a 13 year old in jail for having sex with a 12 year old. When asked why she was trying that. She said she was curious and her parents would not tell her and he told her and showed her. By the way she turned 13 2 weeks later. I think people are ashamed of sex and families refuse to do right buy being the guide. Are parents not teachers guiding there kids or is the school the only guide.
